My Journey in Paving the Way for a New Era of Innovation in the World of Zilliqa
ZilKin is a Scilla Contracts Deployment Tool that empowers you to deploy your Scilla contracts effortlessly via our a) Contracts Wizard (Interactive Code Generator) or b) Automatic Deployment Contract.
Over the 2022 Winter (Dec 2022 - Jan 2023), I was beyond thrilled to have been handpicked as one of the elite 20 undergraduate students from the APAC region to participate in the highly acclaimed ZilHive Student Practicum. This program was an absolute game-changer for me, providing me with unparalleled opportunities to immerse myself in the world of cutting-edge blockchain and Web3 development.
The Spark of Inspiration
As a developer, I am driven by the burning passion to craft solutions that not only simplify the lives of my peers but also reshape the world as we know it. That's why, when I was privileged to be a part of the infrastructure track at the ZilHive Student Practicum, I knew that this was a chance to leave an indelible mark on the developer community. My objective was to conceive a tool that would make the process of deploying Scilla smart contracts a breeze, and accessible for developers of all skill levels.
The inspiration for this idea came to me when I realized that Scilla, a powerful and versatile language, was often underutilized due to its complexity and lack of resources. I realized that if I could create a tool that would make it easy for developers to deploy Scilla smart contracts, it would have a transformative impact on the developer community.
Building a Masterpiece
To bring this idea to life, my team and I decided to harness the power of React, tailwindcss, and Scilla. React, a widely adopted JavaScript library, was chosen for its user-friendly interface, while tailwindcss, a CSS framework, was used to infuse elegance and aesthetic appeal to the tool. Scilla, a smart contract language, was chosen for its powerful features and versatility. However, to fully grasp Scilla and create a successful solution, I had to immerse myself in the language, learning about smart contracts and the intricacies of the Scilla language. It was a challenging but enlightening journey.
